well being that you're handy you should consider replacing the IMS with the upgraded LN unit. I was following a 996 owner who did this in his own garage without a lift and admitted to never having take apart a trans. He even fab'd up his own RMS tool from plumbing PVC. One of these days I'm going to sign up for some major auto repair training on the weekends.

My seats were only to be used for track and autocross but I liked the way it kept me sitting upright so I kept them in year round. I recently dusted off the stock seats to treat the leather and boy are those comfy. I got the seats second hand from a guy who was buying a 996 Turbo and needed the cash to complete the sale. I think I paid $2K delivered. They were selling for $3500 new at the time. They are snap to install as they use the exact same mounting points and require no extra hardware. The only drawback is that you sit lower so if your suspension is lowered your back will feel it...and parallel parking is a pain because you really can't twist your torso too far. and its a tight fit so if you're out of shape getting in and out will get boring fast.
